God and Savior Trump declares himself a national holiday.
National parks cut free entry for MLK Day, add Trump's birthday
In 2026, Americans will get free admission to national parks on President Donald Trump's birthday but no longer on Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, according to the National Park Service website.
Previously, the National Park Service included these two federal holidays among its free-entry days for around 100 park sites.https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/nati...So, when folks enter National Parks on Trump Day, will they enjoy the view of the clear cut forests and strip mined land?
Some years ago, Sean Hannity ran a video clip of an elementary school class, who the teacher had taught to sing a song about Obama, while he had an apoplectic fit about the kids being brainwashed. What would he say if the Education Dept decreed that all school children be required to sing a song praising God and Savior Trump?

Sounds like what they do in North Korea for Dear Leader’s birthday.
How many times will some of you say, “Nah, it’s not at all like North Korea” before you say
“Yeah, it’s sounding more and more like North Korea”?
Donald Trump truly is MAGA’s special little boy. They poke out their own eyes and claim they see the world more clearly than anyone else.

What does June 19th or MLK Jr. have to do with the national park system?
Both are national holidays commemorating pivotal dates or persons in the struggle of African Americans to be gain rights denied them.
But you’re right! They’re not as important as Trump’s birthday.

WTF does Trump have to do with the parks? He could care less. His idea of a park is golf course.
There are a bunch of fee free days for various occasions.
The National Park Service (NPS) offers several fee-free days each year for all visitors, aligning with holidays like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, plus special dates like the NPS's birthday and Constitution Day

So stupid. You didn't answer the question.
This is so typical of insane liberals who stick their fingers in their ears rather than respond to a simple factual question.
What if someone disagrees that meaningless naming of national parks to black icons simply as a performative sop to a Dem voting bloc matters.
It doesn't matter.
Now, if you were going to tell me that Trump renamed the Cheese quake rest stop on the Garden State Parkway in NJ,then...nah instill wouldn't care. And no sane individual should care.

There are plenty of folks in MAGA with intellectual capacity sufficient to read a few paragraphs and comprehend.
But that intellectual capacity has been hobbled by their own twisted hatreds. Marco is a prime example of this; there are certainly others.
Earlier, velcher quoted an extended portion of jojo from Jerz. I focused on the lesson drawn from the last few paragraphs. And for me, the lesson is as follows:
This nightmare of performative ignorance and cruelty will not end until the consequences of their collective insanity is visited, without mercy, upon each and every one of them. That process is only in the first stage of beginning.
And unfortunately, we’ll be suffering the consequences of their insanity as well.

Rev. Stromboli,
You guys are just leftist "dooshes" who are obsessed with all things "Trump" because you all have borderline personality organization.
So, that means one of your primary ego defenses is "splitting." You also engage in projection and projective identification.
Splitting is a primitive ego defense due to arrested development in early childhood, normally caused by abuse or a negligent or inadequate parental figure.
You can't see anything in a nuanced way. Everything is either all good or all bad, but you falsely believe you are "all good" because you can't deal with acknowledging your own weaknesses and flaws.
Therefore, you project all the negative and bad emotions onto an externalized bad object, in this case, Trump.
You all get along so well with each other because you all suffer from the same borderline personality organization and primitive ego defenses.
You never challenge other. When someone bothers to take a lot of time to logically and factually challenge you, such as LurkerMom or Dope1 (there may be others, those are two that come to mind though), you NEVER address their arguments on the merits.
I don't bother trying to argue with you guys on the merits because you aren't capable of it.
For you, this message board isn't actually to discuss political issues.
It's to engage in reinforcement of your pre-existing cognitive biases and emotional problems with one another.
Forgive me for not playing your very unhealthy games.
I simply pointed out that naming national parks after black icons who had nothing to do with anything concerning national parks was simply a performative sop to a Dem voting bloc and otherwise completely meaningless.
Therefore, Trump switching the names is also completely meaningless--unless he was trying to deliberately troll you emotionally disturbed folks, which odds are, was exactly what he was aiming at. It worked.
The appropriate response that mentally healthy people have to such trolling is to ignore it.
But you're not mentally healthy, so you are easily baited by the likes of Trump.
I just think the lot of you are silly, immature, and totally lacking in self-awareness.

Why look at that! Marco vaguely remembers something from his Psyche intro course and with a little help from AI, makes a mess of trying to use it as a weapon by diagnosing all of us at once!
Marco- are you a psychoanalyst, or did you simply stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Even your revised objection misses the mark.
1. The issues are (and remain)
Donald Trump’s trivial obsession with obliterating the celebration of holidays commemorating the struggle of African Americans for civil rights, and
2. His equally trivial and dangerous attempts to put his name on every aspect of our civic life. In this case, offering free access to National Parks on his birthday, while simultaneously removing that free access for Juneteenth and MLK’s birthday.
However, the cult of Dear Leader sees nothing wrong with it.

And the fact that he is using the resources of the US government to do his trolling?
He’s also using the resources of the US government to enrich himself.
He’s also using the resources of the US government to exact retribution on anyone who question him, or to kill Venezuelan boaters to show the world how tough he is
He’s getting ready to use the resources of the US government
to wag the dog, and will most likely use the resources of tthe US government to further enrich himself with Venezuelan oil.
Trolling? That’s just the canary in the coal mine. But it’s part of the same corruption.

You just can't stay on point especially when you don't want to admit you're wrong.
All over the place.
Wasn't the issue about admission fees to National Parks?
Nah it's "TRUMP SUCKS."
